US President Donald Trump urged Ukraine to immediately agree to negotiations with Russia in Turkey, stating that this is a chance to see if it's even possible to reach an agreement.
«President Putin is not seeking to make a ceasefire agreement with Ukraine, but instead wants to meet on Thursday in Turkey to discuss the possible end of this BLOODY CONFLICT. Ukraine should immediately agree to these negotiations. At the very least, it will become clear whether a deal is possible. And if not — European leaders and the US will have a clear understanding of the situation and can act accordingly.
I am beginning to doubt that Ukraine intends to make any agreement with Putin at all, who seems too busy celebrating Victory in World War II — a war that, without the participation of the United States of America, would have been simply impossible to win (not even close!). HOLD THE MEETING — NOW!!!» — he wrote on his social network Truth.
Volodymyr Zelensky responded to the US President's call, reminding of the proposed ceasefire starting tomorrow. «We are waiting for a ceasefire from tomorrow — full and long-lasting, to provide the necessary basis for diplomacy. There is no point in prolonging the killings. And I will wait for Putin on Thursday in Turkey. Personally. I hope that the Russians will not find reasons this time why they cannot», — he wrote on his Telegram channel.
